21 days before marriage

Liu Zizhan decided to find something for himself to do.

He took some time to finish the unfinished work report last time, looked up at the clock, and it was only 10:30.He wanted to go out to buy something, but he was afraid that Shen Tuo would not be able to find him on the phone, so he stayed in the house and dared not go anywhere.

He dug out all the discs in the TV cabinet, picked out a few interesting ones, and watched them slowly one by one.I made a donburi for lunch and ate it absent-mindedly.After watching and watching, I was really not interested, so I turned off the TV and ran to the Internet.The Internet is full of unnutritious news, Liu Zizhan read it for a while, and felt that it was boring.Take another look, it's a quarter past four in the afternoon.

He went back to the bedroom, opened the bedside table, and took out a tin box from it.He carefully opened the lid, hiding all his childhood treasures: the Transformers he bought with stickers, the stained glass marbles, the first pen he bought with a scholarship... Turn to the bottom and there is a red one The cotton bag, Liu Zizhan took it out, untied the knot, revealing a blood-stained handkerchief inside.

When I was in middle school, I often passed by a family with a big pomegranate tree planted in the yard.As soon as the season comes, many large pomegranates grow heavily on the tree, all of them are bright red and plump, and can be as big as a small shot put.

Shen Tuo and Liu Zizhan were children at heart, they were so hungry to see them, they made up their minds in private and decided to touch some of them.On a dark and windy night, the two sneaked over the fence, Shen Tuo climbed up to pick the fruit, and Liu Zizhan stayed under the tree to watch the wind.

Just stroked two, suddenly a big dog sprang out of the dark place.This dog is ferocious when it sees it, it doesn't bark, it just bites people.Liu Zizhan only had a pomegranate backpack in his hand, and he was so frightened that he dodged left and right and tried to open the dog.Seeing that Liu Zizhan was in danger, Shen Tuo jumped down from the tree and threw the pomegranates he had just picked at the dog.

The dog ate the pain, left Liu Zizhan and came to chase Shen Tuo.Shen Tuo smashed all the pomegranates, and he had nothing in his hands.In desperation, Liu Zizhan picked up something from the dark ground, greeted the dog, and hit the dog on the head.The dog was injured and started barking wildly, finally waking up the owner.

While beating the dog, the two ran away in a panic.When I ran out, I realized that the dog was chained and couldn't catch it if it was more than two or three meters away.The two breathed a sigh of relief, and looked at their bodies, Liu Zizhan was fine, Shen Tuo was unarmed, his arm was scratched several times by the dog's paw just now.Liu Zizhan looked distressed, and hurriedly took out the handkerchief he usually used to wipe sweat and wrapped it around him.

Unexpectedly, the next day, the family came to the school to report.It turned out that when he was fighting with the dog, the student ID card in Shen Tuo's pocket fell out and someone picked it up.Shen Tuo's mother was also invited to the school, and the one who was injured was a purebred dog, how could the master be willing to let it go?

During the investigation, Shen Tuo insisted that the dog was injured by himself, and he did it alone by climbing over the wall to steal the pomegranate, and no one else was involved.Liu Zizhan couldn't watch him take the blame for himself, several times when he was in a hurry to go to the capital, he was abruptly stopped by Shen Tuo. "You are a three-good student every year, and you are full!"

"You are wronged. I obviously injured the dog."

"If you don't want to hit me, I'll hit you!...It's almost all right now, why are you still jumping out and making trouble?" Shen Tuo was anxious.

In the end, Shen Tuo's mother paid thousands of dollars, begged for mercy and shed tears, so the family agreed to go private without calling the police.Liu Zizhan told his mother about the matter, and took the money to confess to Shen Tuo's mother.After listening to his words, Shen's mother was not angry at all, and kindly asked him to take the money back.

"I know best what kind of virtue this brat is." Shen Tuo's mother said, "If it wasn't for his bad idea, you would definitely not follow him."

Liu Zizhan had no choice but to turn to the back to visit Shen Tuo.As soon as he came back that day, Shen Tuo was beaten by his mother with a broom handle. When Liu Zizhan came, he was lying on the bed recuperating.

"Are you okay?" Liu Zizhan asked.

"Cut, what can I do?" Shen Tuo didn't care, "It's just my mother's strength to tickle it."

"It's all my fault." Liu Zizhan said guiltily, "If you had told the truth at that time, you wouldn't have to suffer so much."

"Here it comes again!" Shen Tuo disdainfully said, "Why are you so babbling?"

"Is there any pain? How about I rub it for you?"

"Don't! The more you rub it, the more it hurts..."

"Then what do you want to eat, I'll buy it for you."

"No need, just sit with me and chat for a while. My mother puts me in confinement, and I'm going to be bored."

Shen Tuo took out the video game to play with Liu Zizhan, and after a while he became sleepy, so he fell asleep on the bed.Liu Zizhan looked at his carefree sleeping posture with a little amusement, and out of the corner of his eye, he caught the handkerchief on his arm---it was still tied.

Liu Zizhan gently took off his handkerchief, the blood stains had dried and turned dark brown.Those few scratches have also closed up and scabbed, and it seems that they will no longer be inflamed.

He was watching, suddenly Shen Tuo turned over and pressed half of his body underneath.The two faces suddenly got so close that the fluff on Shen Tuo's face could almost be seen clearly.

Unnaturally pushing Shen Tuo away, she sat cross-legged beside him and stared at him for an entire afternoon unconsciously.The setting sun came in from the window, and the corners of Shen Tuo's mouth rose slightly, not knowing what kind of dream he was having.Liu Zizhan seemed to be bewitched, he lowered his head and kissed him on the face by accident, his warm lips touched the cool skin, Liu Zizhan blushed.

He raised his head, the blush on his face hadn't faded away, and found Shen Tuo's mother standing outside the door, looking at him in shock.

......

After that, you seldom go to Shen's house, right? ---Liu Zizhan recalled---and later met the lively and outgoing Jiang Wei.Jiang Wei pursued him, but he didn't resist too much.In order to reassure Shen Tuo's mother, but also to reassure himself.

Who knows when the situation is imminent, he is still reluctant, reluctant to give him up to others.

Liu Zizhan looked up at the wall clock.

It was already 8 o'clock in the evening, and there was still no news from Shen Tuo.
